Planetary Science conferences

AGU26 brings the Earth and space science community to San Francisco on 7–11 December 2026 for research presentations, scientific exchange, workshops and professional development. The programme spans Earth, planetary and space sciences, with opportunities for collaboration across disciplines. The organizer lists 29 September as the late-breaking abstract deadline; the standard abstract round has already closed. The official event site provides registration, travel and programme updates for the meeting at the Moscone Center.

Discuss a global network of two-to-four-metre telescopes equipped with high-resolution, highly stable spectrographs to characterise small and long-period exoplanets through radial velocities. The meeting connects instrument builders and operators with data-analysis specialists and scientific-network managers. The proposed performance exceeds resolving power 100,000 and targets stability below 50 centimetres per second. This Theo Murphy meeting is intended for researchers in relevant fields and takes place in person. Attendance is free but requires an invitation: applicants state their expertise and reasons for attending, and organisers review requests on a rolling basis. Catering and accommodation are separate. Registered participants are invited to submit posters; submissions within one month of the event may miss the programme booklet.

The society’s annual meeting spans solar and planetary research, exoplanets and astrobiology, stellar populations and interstellar chemistry, high-energy phenomena, galaxies and cosmology. Instrumentation, data science and astronomy education are also represented. The event is hosted jointly by IIT (BHU) and BHU and is held entirely in person. Eligible participants include society members and researchers or students in astronomy and related subjects affiliated with educational or research institutions.

The conference examines the Moon and other planetary bodies through oral and poster presentations grouped into topical symposia and problem-focused sessions. Researchers from across the international planetary-science community submit abstracts for review based on scientific quality and relevance. Special sessions and associated events support exchange of new findings, methods and interpretations. The meeting offers both attendance in Texas and virtual participation.

EGU 2027 meets in Vienna and online, 4–9 April, covering Earth, planetary and space sciences. Abstract deadline: 12 January 2027. The European Geosciences Union hosts scientific sessions, short courses and geoscience panels at the Austria Center Vienna and online. Abstract submissions, support applications and author invitation-letter requests begin on 28 October 2026. Financial-support applications close on 1 December 2026 at 13:00 CET; abstracts close on 12 January 2027 at 13:00 CET. Reduced early registration ends on 8 March 2027. The session-proposal stage closed on 23 September 2026. The organizer also publishes separate townhall and splinter-meeting milestones.

The conference brings together researchers studying the formation of planets and planetary systems through astronomy, laboratory experiments, spacecraft observations and numerical models. Its scope includes protoplanetary-disc structure, the growth of dust into planetesimals, transport of solids and volatiles, planetary accretion, interiors, atmospheres and satellites. Comparison with exoplanet populations links detailed formation mechanisms to the diversity of observed systems. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.

The congress covers planetary science and planetary missions across the Solar System and beyond. Scientific contributions are organized into oral and poster sessions, with workshops and panel discussions supporting detailed exchange of results and methods. The annual Europlanet meeting welcomes researchers from across the international community and includes virtual access to oral and poster activities. Presentations are in English.
